Chapter 17

Professional!

Fu Qian, back at the warehouse, was still savoring the assassination he had just carried out.

The plan was clearly devised by professionals, each step interlocking seamlessly with the next.

First was the hypnotizing of the maid beside the target, attempting to stealthily poison and dispose of the target.

If that failed, there were Transcendent beings lying in ambush outside, ready to use the maid to pinpoint the location and deliver a fatal strike.

It’s truly not easy for Miss Wen to remain alive!

[SAN Points decrease by 1, entering containment scenario]

As Fu Qian marveled, he once again made contact with the Mist Gate.

This time he repeated his trick, breaking a stone pillar with a kick and blending into the crowd to infiltrate the villa.

Bursting through the door once more, Wen Li was indeed still drinking soup.

“Stop right there!”

Fu Qian bellowed angrily, once again blowing up the bowl in Wen Li’s hands with an Air Bullet, drenching Miss Wen from head to toe.

As for the maid named Fang Ting, Fu Qian still chose not to eliminate her directly but let her be controlled again by Wen Xiuxian’s men.

What if she died on the spot, and the person outside sneakily slipped away?

He was still waiting for the attack from outside.

To make the Stone Giant attack at the same time from the same direction, he even chose the same pillar to kick.

Now, everything was proceeding according to the script.

Fu Qian silently counted the time.

“Why? Who sent you?”

“I don’t know… I really didn’t…”

Wen Xiuxian and the maid once again reached the death dialogue stage, and with a scream, as the maid lunged at Wen Li, Fu Qian sprang into action.

He rushed forward ahead of the middle-aged man surnamed Ji, kicking Wen Li into a corner of the wall.

“How dare you!”

Wen Li’s father was enraged, roaring as he rushed to the side of the fallen Wen Li.

The middle-aged man surnamed Ji arrived at this moment, swinging a silent punch at Fu Qian.

This was more like it, far better than any offbeat Little Wolf Girl.

Even though it looked unremarkable, the force behind the middle-aged man’s punch was much stronger than that from the person with blade shards in their hand.

Fu Qian didn’t dodge or flinch, unhesitantly meeting the punch with one of his own.

A surge of fierce power came through, shaking Fu Qian to the core, making his arm tingle with pain.

Interesting, this was the first character that had managed to make him bleed.

Of course, the middle-aged man surnamed Ji fared much worse. Propelled backward by the powerful punch, he staggered three steps, his face flushed red, obviously injured.

Unable to hide his shocked expression, the middle-aged man was about to say something when suddenly a massive roar filled the air, and a white stone pillar soared through the wall, landing right where Wen Li had been standing.

Debris scattered everywhere, dust rising in clouds.

Wen Xiuxian, who had been holding Wen Li and roaring, was suddenly quiet, staring blankly at the stone pillar embedded in the floor.

If he had been just a moment slower, Wen Li would have been reduced to dust and bones.

“This is…”

Fu Qian paid no attention to the bewildered father, instead grabbing the stone pillar.

The quality was really not bad, not even a crack after such an impact.

Praising it, he took a deep breath.

In the next instant, Fu Qian exerted his full strength, ripping the stone pillar out from the wall.

Amidst the terrified gazes of those around, Fu Qian struck a cool pose, flinging the stone pillar back the way it had come.

The pillar once again transformed into a javelin, instantly traversing dozens of meters through the air.

Outside the villa, the Stone Giant was performing its insensitivity act when a violent wind sound came through, and to its horror, it saw the stone pillar it had thrown returning.

The rock-covered body was highly defensive but lacked agility.

Even as it tried its best to dodge, one of its right legs was hit solidly and smashed into two pieces.

Among the flying debris, a symbol of blood finally splattered out: red.

The Stone Giant collapsed with a thunderous crash, hitting the ground hard.

At the same time, following the thrown stone pillar, Fu Qian also jumped through the large hole in the wall to the outside.

It seemed to sense the danger.

Although one leg was broken, the Stone Giant had not lost all its fighting strength. With a muffled roar, it grabbed a car and threw it hard at another stone pillar.

The pillar instantly broke into several pieces, and the luxury car was completely wrecked.

It looks familiar!

Upon closer look, that seems to be Young Master Ye’s car.

That car does have a troubled fate, wasn’t it trashed last time by Little Wolf Girl?

Crackling.

Pieces of rocks on the ground came to life, rapidly gathering at the Stone Giant’s legs.

A strangely shaped new leg quickly formed, and the Stone Giant barely recovered its ability to move, struggling to stand up and run towards the lake.

Think you can escape?

Fu Qian, who had followed, kicked another stone pillar nearby and aimed as he threw it.

Boom!

The ensuing scene was nothing short of brutal.

The Stone Giant was hit squarely in the back by the flying javelin, and under the immense impact, it was instantly smashed to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.

The sound of rocks breaking echoed, and stone slabs peeled off the Stone Giant, revealing a naked man in only his underwear.

The naked man lay on the ground, evidently unconscious.

The closest bodyguards immediately surrounded him.

Fu Qian didn’t join the commotion, and even put down another stone pillar he was holding.

His instincts told him it wouldn’t be that simple.

The next moment, a sudden boom erupted from the ground, and the group of bodyguards surrounding the naked man fell one after another, clutching their heads.

The only person still standing helped the unconscious naked man to his feet and dove into the water.

As expected, there was an accomplice, already mixed in among the bodyguards.

“Who exactly are you, and what is going on?”

Wen Xiuxian and his party finally caught up at this moment.

Being quite a figure himself, by this time he had lost his initial shock and said to Fu Qian with a stern voice.

Fu Qian glanced at the middle-aged man surnamed Ji behind him, who was shielding Wen Li, Young Master Ye, and the others behind him.

He was smart enough to know that now was the time to stick together to avoid any distraction strategies.

Aside from being pale, Miss Wen seemed to be alright.

That kick just now might have looked vicious, but considering Miss Wen’s physical condition, Fu Qian had carefully controlled the force of his kick.

Accidentally killing her with a kick would certainly not happen, at worst it would break a leg.

“Is this the attitude you have towards the man who saved your daughter’s life?”

In response to Wen Xiuxian’s question, Fu Qian snorted and stood with his hands behind his back.

It was an indisputable fact, and Wen Xiuxian’s expression went through several changes before he finally let out a sigh and formally expressed his thanks.

“No need for courtesy. I am merely fulfilling someone’s request; there is someone who doesn’t wish for her to die,” said Fu Qian with a long laugh, adopting the air of a high-minded person.

Fulfilling someone’s request?

Wen Xiuxian’s eyebrows moved, and his eyes filled with doubt and surprise.

“May I ask who that is?”

There!

Fu Qian pointed at Captain Gu.

It was him.

“I am an elite member of Captain Gu’s team.”

…

“Uncle Wen, this man’s background is unknown; we can’t just trust him blindly,”

Not only was Wen Xiuxian utterly dumbfounded, but Young Master Ye also couldn’t hold back anymore, coming forward to urgently assert his presence.

“The attacker was down on the ground just now, but he let him go. They could be in cahoots and putting on an act.”

“Heaven cherishes life; I simply did not wish to commit unnecessary killings,” Fu Qian coldly said, spinning a tale.

In reality, he hadn’t been so eager to give chase just now.

With an assassin around, someone like him, a high-minded individual, held value. If he had really killed the man, Wen Xiuxian, the old fox, would probably have many suspicions instantly.

And why be so ruthless if he didn’t intend to kill? That fellow was responsible for wasting one of his SAN Points, truly unforgivable.

“I believe him,” a weak voice suddenly interjected, as the talented girl Wen Li spoke for the first time.
